I'm sorry, but I have to disagree with this at least in part. In this day and age of forums, reviews, and easily obtained videos from readily accessable places on line, there's no reason to have stepped into CoD blindly. Maybe I'm in the minority, but I never buy something without checking it out first. While I'm as dissappointed as the next fellow regarding CoD, I knew what I was getting.
Could there be folks who happened to be shopping in their local Best Buy, saw CoD on the shelf and bought it because it looked flashy and within their specced PC's range? Yup. But I think those days and kind of buyers are fewer and farther between today, as compared to say, when IL2 was released.
I remember being fluffed by MSCFS3's graphical preview movie, but there wasn't any gameplay video released. How many were chuffed at how the game ran on their systems? I was. It looked nothing like the gameplay trailer. I bought it in haste and learned. ALWAYS review before purchasing. Today access to info is readily availible - much more than in 2002 when MSCFS was released.
As I said I have to disagree in part.
